What A Narcissist Wants You To Believe
That you are but a Candle — small —
While They — the Sun — command —
That all your Dreams are fragile things
To crumble at their Hand —
That Truth itself is pliable —
And bends to suit their Will —
That Silence is a sacred Vow
You dare not break — nor spill —
That Love is but a Ration — thin —
Dispensed when They decree —
That you exist — because They look —
And cease — if They don't see —
That Doubt is Proof of Loyalty —
That Pain — a Noble art —
Ah — but the Soul — unshaken — knows
The Lie — from Honest Heart —
For Power— built on borrowed Breath —
Dissolves — when you arise —
The Chains — are Thread — the Crown — is Dust —
And Freedom — in your Eyes.
